    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Codorus State Park Campground welcomes dogs throughout its wooded camping areas with specific pet-friendly loops designated for campers traveling with animals. Located near Seven Valleys, the park maintains clean, spacious sites where pets are permitted on leashes no longer than 6 feet. The campground features electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings at pet-approved sites. Indian Rock Campgrounds also accommodates pets with creek-side camping options where many campers report minimal mosquito issues despite the water proximity. Bathrooms at these facilities are generally well-maintained, though Indian Rock's showers operate on push buttons that only stay on for a few seconds. The campsites at Codorus are particularly spacious, providing ample room for dogs to rest at camp while remaining leashed. Gifford Pinchot State Park offers additional pet-friendly accommodations with similar amenities.

    Multiple hiking trails provide exercise opportunities for leashed pets, including Mary Ann Furnace Trail at Codorus which leads to a scenic lake setting particularly beautiful during fall foliage season. Dogs must remain on leash on all park trails and common areas. The historic rail trail accessible directly from Indian Rock Campgrounds property creates an excellent walking path for dogs and owners. During summer months, pets need adequate shade and water as some camping areas have limited tree cover, especially at Indian Rock where the upper sites are notably exposed. Park rangers regularly patrol the campgrounds but generally don't interfere with responsible pet owners. The nearby town of Hanover provides veterinary services and pet supply options, including the Utz chips outlet that some campers visit during their stay. Campgrounds enforce quiet hours which helps manage barking and maintains peaceful camping conditions.

      Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

      Amazing campground!

      We stayed for 10 days in a rustic cabin. Campground is well organized and clean. Tons of activities and even a hiking path. Pet friendly with small dog park. We had civil war soldiers drilling and staying the weekend we were there. Bathrooms are super clean.

      Artillery Ridge Campground

      Great location and friendly staff

      We have a motorhome with no additional vehicle and two dogs, and this site couldn’t have been more perfect for us. A dog park, walking distance to most everything we wanted to see. The national park is mostly dog friendly. My husband caught a fish first day in the pond behind our site. The staff was super friendly and welcoming.

      Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

      Wish I stayed there under different circumstances.

      The rangers were nice and the campground hosts were sweet. I liked the dish washing sinks outside of the shower houses. The site was nice with the tent pad backing up to the trees. I would rather sleep in a tent any night over a motel room but this time was different. Due to my father passing, me and my daughter stayed there 3 nights. I will be back another time to actually enjoy the lake and being between Lancaster and Gettysburg makes both places easy to access. Next time I will be getting a site away from the group area. It was nice that the pet area is separate from those of us who don't have pets or want quiet from dogs barking. Some of the groups can get rather loud especially when there are a bunch of teens.

      Dogwood Acres Campground

      Quiet and Friendly Staff

      Clean well kept family owned campground. Located a few miles off 81, in the country surrounded by beautiful views. It’s a mix campground of seasonal campers and short term campers. Very family oriented. Very nice off leash fenced dog park.

      Great campground! Lots of fun

      We loved it here. It accommodates a large family reunion with plenty of space. The campground was well populated but we didn’t feel cramped at all. Super dog friendly. Many little dog parks throughout. Great pool.

      Beautiful Park

      This camp boasts a stream and beautiful city bridge for water play in the summer and photography in the cooler months. Grounds, bathrooms, showers, playgrounds, dog park, everything. This park is wonderful!

      Beautiful Campground

      Nice campground with well taken care of sites. There is a pond to fish from, a dog park for your furry friend to play at and a few playgrounds for the kids.

      Twin Grove RV Resort

      Beautiful Campground

      This is an amazing campground! There are 2 dog parks right next to each other, which is great for your furry friend to be able to run around and play off leash. And for the kids there is an arcade, a ferris wheel and some other rides. On Saturday nights they usually have a band playing on the stage which is really neat. There is also a ice cream place to get a nice cold treat. The RV spots are really nice and well kept.

      Quiet Spot

      The staff and seasonal campers are all very friendly. The bathrooms are incredibly clean. We love all the games there are to play and the dog park is our favorite spot. Overall, it's peaceful and quiet in a nice, wooded setting.
